pip3 install androidtv
solved the issue
When ha is connected to my nividia shield, it sometimes becomes unresponsible.
I push buttons and nothing happens.
I had the same issue.as said earlifer, this can be fixed with the following:
cd /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/androidtv/
mv __init__.py __init__.py.bak
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JeffLIrion/python-androidtv/fe6e9ffadfd86ef4c45ce75c3a87e0495bfa45c1/androidtv/__init__.py
then restart HA…
hope you ll be ok after this 
thanks, but now i have different error:

Strange, but since this became official I’m still getting the following in hassio v0.90.1:

Any other info I can offer here? No t sure where to start troubleshooting. This is on a new hassio vm install. Everything else seems to work fine after migrating from the docker.

This is covered in the documentation, although it wasn’t as clear as I thought it was so I submitted a pull request to make it more clear.

The Python ADB implementation isn’t working for your device, so you need to use the ADB server approach.

Thanks for that. I was under the impression that I had to use the add on for adb under hassio. That’s how I set it up. I didn’t add the adb server IP. Now that I’ve done that it’s all good. Thanks for the quick help.
Not sure wether I’m correct in this thread as I’m trying to use Home Assistants “native” component with FireTV support (introduced in 0.90). But I ran into an issue when trying to set it up. Posted about it here, maybe you can have a look?
I’m getting the same errors.
Did you use the server method by installing the ADB addon? @capstan1 looks like you have the Android TV addon configured to use the server so I just wanted to make sure you had the server set up and configured. You also need to make sure the server is able to connect to your devices. The device will prompt to trust this computer. If that doesn’t happen, then that’s your issue.
I have Hassio 90.1, ADB - Android Debug Bridge 0.3.0 installed.
ADB Bridge log:

I accepted the auth on the TV so it looks they are communicating.
But in the Hassio log:

Any idea to fix? I googled it but that just caused me more confusion…
Thanks
I have Hassio 90.1, ADB - Android Debug Bridge 0.3.0 installed.
If i edit out the philipstv section below then the shieldtv is picked up and works great, if I include the philipstv section I get the errors below and neither devices are picked up…any ideas? I have had the secure box popup on both tv’s and have accepted the connection permanently.

Its great on the shieldtv, but frustrating that the philips won’t work especially as its just had a major update to the android interface (now same as shieldtv)
I’ve found that restarting the TV (not just turning off and on) and restarting hassio gets it to reconnect. Not ideal, but I have 5 Android TV’s so I was able to check as this happened in different sets multiple times.
I fixed this in the next release. In the meantime, you can use it as a custom component.
Thanks for your reply @panteragstk ! The addon is connecting succesfully:
[06:48:18] INFO: Connecting to device: 192.168.0.7…
connected to 192.168.0.7:5555
So my Mibox3 has been an absolute pain with this and the ADB binaries. Everything would work fine while it was on, but would constantly either drop connection or take about 30 secs per update cycle, fail to respond or just go into a reconnect loop when it was switched off. Testing with from the command line showed either horrible response times or a timeout.
And it finally dawned on me why! F#*king Android Doze! The damn thing is dropping into battery saving mode, throttling the cpu and dropping the wifi into “location and whitelisted apps only” mode.
One quick install of Wake Lock v3 on the Mibox, set to autostart and keep full CPU and Wifi locks, and everything works like magic…
I should just learn by now, if something is acting odd on Android, it’s probably Doze mode…
Now I’m off to test if that fixes the builtin adb server too…
Edit: Yes, yes, it looks like it does… Goddamn power saving…
